Blackstone Code

After breakfast, the family found their respective places to lie down. Inactivity would save them more energy.

This way you won't get hungry so quickly.

In fact, the basic food provided by the shelter is very nutritious and contains rich protein, various vitamins and amino acids. In terms of nutrition, although it is not much, it is definitely not too little.

Just one bite is enough to support a person with all the nutrients he needs for a day. Whether he is full or not is another matter.

The female reporter found the male host first and said, "Let's talk alone?"

The male host agreed because of the money given by the female reporter.

The two went to the bedroom and of course there was a cameraman so the whole thing was filmed.

After the two sat down, the cameraman also started working. The female reporter first used two "knowingly asking" questions to deepen the male host's anxiety.

"I noticed that your youngest son is almost an adult. You should have the idea of ​​​​arranging a marriage for him."

The male host's expression changed all of a sudden. It was obvious that the female reporter had revealed the issue that worried him most.

He nodded solemnly, "Yes, I can't lie to people on this issue."

The female reporter nodded, "Do you plan to live together or separately?"

The male owner's expression became even more bitter, "If he wants to live alone with us, we may have to pay a supplementary sum of money."

"This house is allocated according to the size of our family, you know, those people say that every square meter here is a precious resource."

It was the first time the female reporter heard this statement. It had not been introduced outside. "What if someone joins in?"

"The shelter official will compensate you with additional resources, some food, and some other things."

The female reporter continued, "Your grandson will grow up in a few years, and you will have more and more ways to spend your money. Have you ever considered making some money or something?"

The male host sighed heavily, "I really want to work, but there are no jobs here. I don't know what to do!"

He held his head and rubbed it vigorously, looking like he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the female reporter began to try to use her "skills" to make a big news.

"Your family's life is very difficult now. Have you ever thought that the old people will be a burden to your happiness?"

The male host suddenly raised his head and looked at the female reporter with a surprised look on his face, "Why do you think so?"

The female reporter pursed her lips. Her lips were very red and full, but what she said was a bit scary, "The shelter in Marillo refuses to accept the elderly because the elderly cannot bring any help to the shelter. Instead, it will consume more valuable resources.”

"They have spent all their resources on young people and children. If you don't have these three old people, the extra food and space will make your life more comfortable."

"By the way, if someone dies unexpectedly, does his space have to be taken back?"

The man shook his head, "No, but... this is too scary!"

"Actually, I can understand them. Those old people are all in their sixties or seventies. They have completed 99% of their lives, and there is not much left."

"In fact, I have interviewed some elderly people. Before coming here, they preferred to wait outside to die rather than come in and drag their families down."

The male host shook his head and said, "I won't do that. We are a family."

After asking a few more questions, the female reporter asked the male host to leave, and then invited the hostess, two children, and the eldest son's wife to come in.

She used similar methods to influence these people. Subconsciously, she described the three old people as "a burden" and a "drag", even though they all thought they shouldn't do this.

But they accepted this information. As long as they really accepted these words and this information, they would seriously consider this possibility when they suffered.

People living at the bottom are actually like this.

When they face huge difficulties, their first thought will not be "I want to break the difficulty", but "Is there any way to get around it?"

This bottom-level way of thinking is actually very common. Most people are like this. They realize their own weakness and their limited abilities. They will not recklessly try to solve difficulties face to face.

The cost of doing this is high, and they may not necessarily be able to afford it, but it is much easier to accept it if they bypass the difficulties!

Soon the female reporter invited three old people in alone.

The first person who came in was the father of the male owner. He was sixty-seven years old and had lost part of his ability to take care of himself.

He suffered an injury to his leg when he was young and is now paralyzed. He can only sit in a wheelchair and relies on the owner, his wife and their two children to take care of him.

Including going to the toilet, bathing, sleeping, etc., you need help.

Although his clothes were very worn, they looked clean, slightly white, and smelled of laundry detergent.

"They love you very much.", the female reporter said, "You can see this from your current situation, everyone loves you."

The old man smiled reservedly and proudly. His hair was neatly taken care of, including his beard, and there was no messy stubble.

"Thank you, I appreciate them and I love each of them."

The female reporter's smile had an indescribable strange taste, and her red lips opened again, "I just talked with your children, and they all feel that their current life is very poor."

"And you?"

"Do you think so too?"

The old man nodded, the smile on his face lessened, "Yes, but I believe in the federal government, they should solve these problems."

"You used 'should', does that mean you are actually not sure and question whether they can really do it?" The female reporter reacted quickly and captured a key word very keenly.

The old man hesitated for a moment. He suddenly didn't know what to say.

The female reporter did not let him continue on this issue, because if he continued, he would regard all dissatisfaction as the fault of the federal government.

This was completely different from the news she wanted, so she had to guide it accurately.

"Some families are doing pretty well, including yours. What do you think is the biggest problem?"

The old man was stunned for a while. It is normal for him to react slowly as he gets older.

He spoke slowly, "We have too many people and there are no new sources of income, so our situation is worse than others."

Without jobs and income, families in shelters are living on their laurels.

Unless everyone is willing to lie motionless in bed half dead every day!

This also leads to the fact that the more people in a family, the greater the expenses they bear, the more resources they consume, the more difficult and poor they live.

The female reporter nodded in agreement, "Children are the future. Looking at them, I have a feeling that maybe everything will be fine in the future."

"I also have a question at this time, which may be a bit presumptuous."

"Do you sometimes feel...that you are a burden to this family?"

"A very heavy one."

"I don't mean to offend, this is just an interview. I hope more things that happen in ordinary families will be reported, so that more people can understand what is happening here."

The old man was stunned again. He had actually thought about this problem, but not so seriously.

The whole family atmosphere is very good, everyone takes good care of him and there are never any complaints.

So he knew that he might cause trouble to his family, but he never thought that one day he would be a burden to his family.

He remained silent because what the female reporter said was true.

He also needs medicine, which is not a small expense.

The female reporter continued to deepen his chaotic thinking, "I have interviewed some other families on this street. Those families without elderly people are living very well. Do you think they are happy?"

The old man still didn't speak, he just lowered his head and looked at his legs covered with blankets. He had obviously begun to think wildly.

The smile on the female reporter's face flashed away, "I just asked your son and your son's wife this question."

The old man raised his head sharply and looked at the female reporter. His eyes were full of desire for answers, but there was also some fear.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

He was afraid that he would hear an answer he didn't want to hear, but he also wanted to know.

People are so contradictory.

If it is revealed at this time that both the host and hostess think he is a burden, then they may have an intra-family meeting, which will ruin the female reporter's plan.

So the female reporter did not lie and told him the answer directly, "Your son and mistress love you very much. They said that even if life in the future is worse than now, they will not consider you a burden."

"Including your grandson, I am very touched by how much your family loves each other and loves each other deeply."

"But I am also reflecting on a question, is this really good?"

Her hints are already in place. Will they fall into the abyss with their family members who love them, or let them go and let them return to light and happiness?

The old man has lived a lifetime. Although his cultural level is not that high, his interpretation of life and his interpretation of life at this level are already very thorough.

He forced an ugly smile and said, "I am very happy to have such a family with me. This is the greatest gift God has given me."

He didn't want to say anything more, "I'm a little tired, is it okay..."

The female reporter stood up with a smile, opened the door, asked someone to push him out, and then invited another old man to come in.

With the same words and the same core, the three old men were obviously silent when they came in and went out again.

The female reporter knows that what she wants has been achieved, and she will not do anything else, which will only make things worse.

She just needs to tell these people through her own means at the appropriate time that they only have a few days to make a decision.

Because after she leaves, even if these old people are willing to die, they will not be of any use and have no value.

Only by focusing on reporting can you exert your greatest value and effect!
